THE SECRET OF THE SNAKE GODDESS

 

 

"The Secret of The Snake Goddess is about one of those astonishing stories that tend to lurk in academic circles until they burst into the popular culture.

(...) like a supersized episode of CSI, it moves along, piecing together scientific information, following false leads and, ultimately, reaching disturbing conclusions."

John Doyle

The Globe and Mail

 

This is the story of the discovery of Knossos and the Minoans by Sir Arthur Evans -a story as mysterious as the Minoan world itself.  

Following Canadian archaeologist Alexander MacGillivray, the film travels to Crete, New York, Boston and Toronto, to discover the most famous masterpieces of Minoan art. The secrets they hide will change our view of the Minoan world.

Through dramatic reconstructions shot in the archaeological site of Knossos, documentary footage and high quality computer animation, “The Secret of the Snake Goddess” brings to life the Golden Age of great discoveries and reminds us why History is important for us, today.
